Ball PyThon trying to escape at night

[Masen136]

Hello, I am very new to ball pythons and this is my first one. And Iv noticed every night the second I turn off his day lights and turn on the night ones he tried to push the top off his cage for atleast 2 hours straight then will stop, and sometimes in middle of night I’ll hear him trying again. I have owned him for 2 weeks, looks very healthy. But has yet to eat. I have offered him food 2 times a week so 4 times total now and still not the slightest interest in the dead rat. Please help!
I have also noticed when he is trying to ecscape he makes a weird wheezing sound, I do not this this is a RI. Because this only will happen when he seems stressed trying to escape. I’ve listened to him while he is calm and hear nothing. But second he seems stressed starts wheezing. I know this isn’t like 3 questions but if someone could help I would greatly appreciate it. 1 years old, regular bp.

95 is to hot. Decrease to 90 tops.

What Is your humidity? We dont know what perfect is unless we get an actual # Lol

62 percent humidity is what it’s saying at the moment. Never goes above 65 never bellow 55

Too hot!

Could you post a picture of your setup? When they usually don't eat at a younger age it's usually husbandry related. I'd stop offering food for a week and ask whoever you got it from what they fed it before you got it and give it that before trying to switch. Continuing to offer food can be stressful and actually counter productive.

Can you post a picture of your set up? Along with being too hot (have you got your heat on a stat? How are you measuring the temps?) the hides might be inadequate which will be stressing your ball out.

This is normal nighttime behavior. When I used tanks they did the same. Now that they have PVC enclosures they go all over and climb on the things ive provided. They are Nocturnal. If this happened during the day then id say stressed, nighttime is snake business.
Hot Spot is to hot. They prefer 88/89. The norm of 88-91 is a min and max because sometimes when temps drop or heat up depending on the weather our heating devices fluctuate.. 91 is a Max.
This is what I see any night i get up from 9pm till 5am.
